Why do I suspect that steampunk and tentacle sex are just over the horizon. sigh.

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

I think there is going to be a Sprite's Adventures category, anyone can post in.

also, for those who have earned the omnivore... onomotapia... harmonium... ominum.. whatever badge, we're looking into how best to let them keep it every time we mess with the categories. still under discussion, but it might just become a 'write in at least x numbers of categories, x being equal to however many we have currently. stay tuned. i think a lot of people are going to like some of the new ideas (hi verbal!).


When I was the first person to write in all of the categories on Nicola's three sites (Lush, SS, and Historias), I did it as a challenge to myself. I, personally, don't mind writing in whatever category we add on our site. Honestly, it will just be one more challenge to achieve.

*Steering this freight train back towards the tracks* I'd like to see a BBW category. I suggested this is this Contact Us form but I'll put it here too. Not all of us are supermodels and weightlifting hunks. It would be nice to see some fuller figures/voluptuous women featured here! Personally, I like the curves! smile

How about a cybersex category? Could be anything from sexting to affairs on Lush to the more sci-fi virtual reality approach. Of course, all of those will fit into other categories, but lumping them together might be fun

I think a category for age difference sex would be popular. It could include cougar sex, Dd/lg, babysitter, and so on.

And mysteries could be fun to read here too. As well as BBW. I think there are a few suggestions here that would work well for the site.

The question asked, "What category you would like to have". If it's already been decided and you're not interested to learn that the community might feel differently that's another matter. At its face, it implies any category including those currently against the TOS would be considered. Just sayin'.

And yes, I totally get that it's not in line with the tone you're trying to set.

I'd suggest these story categories ...

1. Sentimental journeys
2. Biographies (Fiction or non-fiction)
3. Gothic
I like the way you make me feel even when I'm nowhere near...

I don't have any ideas for new categories, but I have a thought or two about re-thinking one or two old ones.

For the most part, the categories tell you something about the content of the story, as I think they should. I've had at least one story recategorized on submission, because a story that I'd submitted as gay male was really more bisexual, and I think that decision was fair.

To be sure, there can be some overlap. Is a particular story a reluctance story, or a hardcore story? These things can be fluid, and should be the author's prerogative.

Flash and Novels, however, are about scope, not content.

I wonder if some consideration could be given to allowing them to be separate things, sort of the way that "audio stories" has its own heading, and doesn't trump the content category. That is, "audio" is a sort of super category, and an audio story that happens to be "toys", can be found under "toys" for content, and "audio" for type.

If a reader avoids (or is particularly drawn to), let's say, anal stories, or lesbian stories, or whatever, the flash category doesn't really help all that much. Right now, the content of a flash story can be anything within the TOS.

I wonder if the flash designation could be applied to all stories submitted that are within the flash word count, but with whatever content category the author chooses to apply.

"Novels" also doesn't tell the reader much about the content. Still, a reader looking for a complete and longer series should be able to look there.

I had the first, and eventually abandoned, chapter of what was going to be a novel-length series in the novel category for a long time, and it eventually felt wrong to have a fairly short, unfinished piece in that category, and I removed it. Since then, I deposited (and recategorized every chapter) into the novels category a longer series in which each chapter had originally had its own appropriate content category.

And I wonder if "novels" could be a category that an author could submit to upon completion of the last chapter of a longer series, but with each chapter having an accurate category descriptor. E.g., chapter 1 is first time, chapter 2 is straight sex, chapter 3 is straight sex, chapter 4 is toys, chapter 5 is straight sex. chapter 6 is straight sex, and also the last chapter of the series. When the author submits chapter 6, s/he requests for the story to be put in the novels category. When that's accepted, then the entire series can be found under the novels category, which, like flash, could be a separate, non-content "Category" above the content categories, the way EPs, RRs, and audio stories are now. And only finished novels would be allowed to be in that category.

I see that there are some obvious difficulties, such as what to do with flash stories that already exist, and perhaps this is a "problem" or preference that only I have, but in my mind it would tidy up the categories into being about content rather than length.

(I could also see the new flash "super category" having a neat little lightning bolt icon on the tab, with "novels" perhaps having an icon of a thick book.)

I'd like a "Brad Pitt takes PrettyWild " category. The possibilities for stories on this area are endless .....

i think, if we did that, it would simply be westerns. that said, it's kinda covered under historical.
